One of Danny Rose’s clients.

Frankie Fed’s thin crust. Not as good as the original Federici’s but close! Waitstaff rules there. This was the garlic-mushroom-sausage pie. There were no leftovers.

finally read this astonishing 1946 memoir by mezz mezzrow, early white jazz musician, louis armstrong's weed dealer, & namesake of the mighty mezz strain, which somebody should revive. it unexpectedly made a fantastic companion to "shadow ticket" & can't help but wonder if it was source material.

Great news: MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS: PART I — LAST AIR IN MOSCOW comes to MUBI on April 3. For a lot of people, this will finally be a chance to see 2025's best film.

Why did they continue making fonts after designing DATA 70?

I liked the Human Centipede, but I wish they'd gotten around to making the other films in the series, like the Human Asteroids and the Human Dig-Dug

As I believe I was an A&R man in a prior life, I sometimes fantasize about getting recording artists to cover song. Today I realized that if The Jerry Garcia Band (not the Grateful Dead) covered Robert Palmer's "Every Kinda People" it would have been perfect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=70yF...

Alvy Singer wasn’t kidding, the personals in the New York Review of Books are sensational.

On the plus side, Paramount buying CNN means Wolf Blitzer can return to Mission Impossible.

On Elvis and EPiC

This is the end, society is kaput, the last vestige of a civilized nation has fallen

This is Worf’s best hair. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Sound the alarm: Sheila O'Malley has written about EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/epic...

Also, with Rush and Phish overlapping at MSG this summer.... it isn't totally crazy to think about a sit in. I don't see Rush opening up to have Trey join them. But Phish bringing Geddy out to sing "Take Off to the Great White North"??????

First interview with Anika Nilles since she got the Rush gig - in a Dutch drum mag (in English.) Item! Rush tour will feature new setlist each night. This means my show may not feature "YYZ"?!??! Will I need to chase "YYZ"??? www.slagwerkkrant.nl/muzieknieuws...

Remember when Laverne and Shirley participated in a Milgram-esque series of experiments to make extra cash and it (surprise!) backfired? I saw this when I was 6 or so (in re-runs) and never laughed so hard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF7W...

No mail service yesterday or today. What happened to “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds”? The country is falling apart.

The Wegmans "Mixed Berry" seltzer is BAD! This is unexpected because the "Raspberry" rules. But add some "Mixed" to it and its BLUCKKK!

Your post caused me to check in on Di Meola. Thankfully the man is alive AND WELL

Nov 17, 1981 - Al DiMeola sat in with Frank Zappa and his group at the Ritz in NYC (previously and once again Webster Hall.) A prog-fusion jam that you will either instantly love or find repulsive. No middle ground!!! Check this out and get back to me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_4P...

Since everybody is abuzz with Matt Johnson love, I have dug up his appearance on my old Star Trek podcast. He shows up at the 29:50 mark here -- open.spotify.com/episode/3lZ3...

Frederick Wiseman spent 1967 on, some six decades, wandering America and the world filming how it works (and, often, doesn’t), retreating to an editing room, then going back out and doing it all over again. What a life! RIP to one of the actual greatest

What a sad day. I wrote about the passing of a titan of nonfiction filmmaking, Frederick Wiseman. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Hands-down my best celebrity-sighting-in-the-wild was seeing, while visiting Paris, Fred Wiseman crossing the Pont Neuf one day. I stopped for a second and just gawped. Frederick effing Wiseman! I was too scared to say anything to him, but I savored that moment of being in the presence of greatness.

Print this out.

In my line of work, I watch a ton of middling documentaries. Constantly — CONSTANTLY — I find myself muttering "if Frederick Wiseman were doing this, it could work..." From a mental asylum to a Michelin restaurant. An unparalleled body of work. R.I.P.

From 1997: Here is Howard Stern summarizing THE APOSTLE for Robert Duvall, who ultimately has to tell him to stop talking. This exchange has stayed with me for 29 years. Incredible comedy. Cued it for you. youtu.be/v2-t5GxqOUc?...
